RUDICS Service OverviewRUDICS Service Overview• Router-based Unrestricted Digital Information Connectivity Solution

• Mobile Originated [MO] and Mobile Terminated [MT] circuit switched data connectivity for integrated data applications

• System intended for applications with a large number of fielded units

• Enables a host application to originate and terminate numerous connections simultaneously

• Fastest on/off time of any Iridium CSD connection• Fastest on/off time of any Iridium CSD connection

• Provide a variety of connection possibilities

• Standard socket based MO or MT connections

• PPP connections; single or multiple channel setups (MLPPP)


RUDICS – Key BenefitsRUDICS Key Benefits• Security. Only group members are allowed to connect.

• Device must call the special “group” number 8816 0000 xx

• The MSISDN of the calling unit is validated before access is granted

• Reduces the need for username/password verification

• Faster connection speedFaster connection speed

• ~25 to 30 seconds for ISU-PSTN or ISU-ISU circuit switched data

• ~9 to 13 seconds for RUDICS (End-to-end)

• Most efficient CSD connection maximizes data throughput

• Protocol independence - No OS or TCP/IP requirements (standard RUDICS))

SBD – Ring Alert (RA)

• MT SBD does not directly deliver message to the unit. RA’s provide notification that a message is awaiting retrieval at the gateway

• Multi-step process for setting up RA*p p g p

• Hardware must have firmware that supports RA

• RA must be activated in SPNet

SBDMTA d b i d h fi ld i RA• +SBDMTA command must be issued at the field unit to accept RA

• +SBDREG command must be issued at the field unit to register to the SBD system

experimenting with the various SBD AT Commands.

Short Burst Data (SBD)Provisioning and Reporting

• Separate login account used to provision SBD accounts

• SPNet can be used for:

• Activating SBD accounts (SIM and hardware)

• Modify account delivery method and destination

• Checking for SBD usage• Checking for SBD usage

• Toggle GEO-location on/off

• Monitor SBD MO/MT activity


Short Burst Data (SBD) Logging into SPNet

• Enter SPNet Logon ID and Password (specificand Password (specific to SBD)

• Click “Login”


Short Burst Data (SBD) What is an IMEI?What is an IMEI?

• International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI)

• Can be used to track equipment particularly if lost or stolen • Can be used to track equipment, particularly if lost or stolen

• Used to identify and authenticate the ISU in the call set-up and registration process on the Iridium network


Short Burst Data (SBD) Provisioning Steps

1. VAR sends ISU IMEIs to Service Delivery via email ([email protected]), requesting that they be allocated to the VARallocated to the VAR.

2. Service Delivery allocates the IMEIs to the VAR in Iridium’s provisioning system (Business Support and Control System -BSCS)BSCS).

3. Using SPNet, the VAR provisions:

1. The ISU, using the ISU IMEI and destination address, g

2. A SIM Card1. SIM is provisioned for LBT or handset only2. The SIM card PIN must be disabled, otherwise the ISU cannot register 2. The SIM card PIN must be disabled, otherwise the ISU cannot register

or place SBD calls.)

FIELD DESCRIPTIONIMEI IMEI of the ISU (SBD Device)

TIME SENT Time (UTC) of the Mobile Originated call

SIZE Size (in bytes) of the Mobile Originated data

LAT Device Latitude (Degrees)

LNG Device Longitude (Degrees)

CEP Device Circular Error Probability radius (80% Confidence) in km

MOMSN

Mobile Originated Message Sequence Number (MOMSN) from the ISU. Each ISU manages its own MOMSN independently of other ISUs. The ISU only increments this number if the call completed successfully.

Dlv. Method Delivery method used

Dlv. Status

Email delivery status (Delivered / Not Delivered), from the perspective of the SBD system at the Iridium gateway. This indicates whether Iridium sent the message to the email destination or not. It is not a confirmation that the email was actually received at its destination.

Call Status Air-Interface status of the call (Transfer OK / Incomplete Call)
